Abstract
Objective: To study the factors affecting the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19. Method: This study used a questionnaire to collect data from 814 patients in 10 health service units in Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. The questionnaire consisted of questions on patient characteristics, motivation factor and attitudes that may affect the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19. Results: Age, education level, marital status, occupation and other persons living in same household did not show association with the decision to vaccinate against COVID-19. Men were 0.67 times less likely to be vaccinated than women (OR= 0.67, 95%Cl: 0.52 – 0.88). Those perceiving vaccines as safe were 6.15 times more likely to be vaccinated than those having opposite belief (OR= 6.15, 95%Cl: 2.85 – 13.27). Conclusion: Increasing more people to vaccinate against COVID-19 requires a strong emphasis on beliefs about safety of vaccine especially in men.
